Fig. Using TC1703 Handset-jig. * KX-TC1703 is used as the jig. 7.7.2.2. Base Unit - jig (BS JIG) for Handset The base unit jig uses two modes: NORMAL POWER mode and TEST POWER mode. (1) NORMAL POWER mode. This test simulates the handset is at normal/close distance. The base unit is in NORMAL POWER mode right after the AC adapter has been inserted.
Page 25
NOTES: 1) If when setting the base to TEST LOW mode, if handset beeps 3 times, press 2, 5, 8, 0 simultaneously and then disconnect battery. Re-install battery, place unit on cradle to get security codes and tries again. 2) Only KX-TC1703 with marks BS JIG/HS JIG can be used for troubleshooting. However, regular production set also can be used as a JIG.

8.7. FREQUENCY TABLE 9. DESCRIPTION 9.1. Frequency The frequency range of 902.713 MHz ~ 927.289 MHz is used. Transmitting and receiving channel between base unit and handset is same frequency. Refer to the Frequency Table. 9.2. Time Division Duplex (TDD) operation Transmission/reception between the base unit and handset is performed by time-sharing as shown in Fig.

10.4. Ports for Transmitting and Receiving of Data 11. BLOCK DIAGRAM (Base Unit) 12. CIRCUIT OPERATION (Base Unit) General Description: (DSP, Flash Memory) is a digital speakerphone/speech/signal processing system that implements all the functions of speech compression, record and playback, and memory management required in a digital telephone answering machine.
Page 38
The DTMF detection is implemented by the DSP system in software. The DTMF detection is performed during Record, Playback, and Line Monitoring modes of operation. When the DTMF data from the Handset is received, the DTMF signal is output. - Synthesized Voice (Pre-recorded message) The DSP implements synthesized Voice, utilizing the built in speech detector and an FLASH MEMORY, which stored the vocabulary.

12.3.1. Charge Circuit The voltage from the AC is supplied to the main charge circuits. Normal charge (70 mA) of maximum 20-hours is started soon after the Handset is placed on the base unit. Then it changes to trickle charge (15 mA on the average) to prevent from overcharging. Normal charge: Q150 is ON Trickle charge: Q150 is OFF 12.4.
Page 40
12.5. Locator/Intercom Mode 1. When the base unit LOCATOR/INTERCOM button is pressed, a call monitor signal (intercom sound) is output from pins 29 and 31 of IC201. Thus a monitor tone is heard from the speaker. 2. At the same time, flashing of the IN USE/CHARGE (LED202) is obtained from pin 70 of IC201.

Telephone Line Interface Circuit: Function - Bell signal detection - ON/OFF hook and pulse dial circuit - Side tone circuit - Auto-disconnect circuit/Parallel connection detection circuit Bell signal detection and OFF HOOK circuit: In the idle mode, Q4 is open to cut the DC loop current and decrease the ring load. When ring voltage appears at the Tip (T) and Ring (R) leads (When the telephone rings), the AC ring voltage is transferred as follows: DSP pin 27.
Page 42
12.7. Auto Disconnect Circuit Function: This circuit is used to detect the fact that another telephone connected to the same line is OFF- HOOK while the unit is in a receiving status or OGM transmitting status. Circuit Operation: The voltage DCIN of DSP is monitored. If a parallel-connected telephone is put into an OFF HOOK status, the presence/absence of a parallel connection is determined when the voltage changes by 0.2V or more.

Mainly voice signal is modulated to RF, or it goes the other way. 14.1.3. EEPROM: IC201 All setting data is stored. ex: ID code, user setting (Flash Time, Tone/Pulse) 14.2. Power Supply Circuit Voltage is supplied separately to each block as shown the Block Diagram below. 14.3.
Page 46
14.5. Sending Signal The voice signal from the microphone input to DSP (46-47). CN203 is the headset jack. When the headset is connected, the Q206 detect it. The input from the microphone of the handset (MIN, MIP) is cut and the microphone signal from the headphone is input to DSP (36). Also the power for the microphone is supplied from Q211, and the power is turned OFF on standby.
